ABSTRACT:
A positive, secure two-loop restraint for law enforcement is light-weight, strong, inexpensive and disposable and which may be attached to the wrists or ankles to be used in place of traditional handcuffs. The restraint is formed from a single elongated, substantially flat plastic strap having a pair of closely spaced socket clasps centrally located therein generally mid-way between first and second strap extremities. The extremities are insertable through openings in the socket clasps which are perpendicular to the plane of the strap and when receiving the extremities form double loops with the strap ends extending parallel to each other when the loops are formed by positioning the extremities through the socket clasps. Each of the extremities has a toothed surface whose teeth all slope in the same direction, and each socket includes a latch stop extending in the same direction as the slope of the teeth for permitting the stop to ride over the teeth during insertion movement and preventing extraction movement, thereby providing a flat ratchet arrangement such that a two-loop restraint is provided, with the sizes of the loops being adjustable in the same direction and which are formed and positioned on wrists or ankles of the restrained person when the extremities are inserted in the same direction through the socket clasps. The straps are made of a high density plastic, are light-weight and a large number may be conveniently carried by a law enforcement user as contrasted with bulky, expensive, heavy and difficult to use handcuffs.
